BLACKPINK’s Jennie and V Reportedly Break up Ahead of BTS Star’s Enlistment
Jennie and V never officially confirmed their relationship.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BTS member V, who were previously rumored to be romantically involved, have reportedly parted ways.
According to a report by JTBC on December 6, 2023, Jennie and V reportedly ended their alleged relationship just before V’s upcoming military enlistment.
However, online communities and social media are buzzing with doubts about the breakup news due to recent dating proofs that have surfaced.
On December 1, 2023, eagle-eyed fans spotted Jennie sharing a meal at V’s residence. Notably, the dining table featured in a photo posted by the BLACKPINK star on November 29, 2023, looked remarkably similar to the one at V’s house.

Adding to the speculation, both Jennie and V were said to be in London, England, towards the end of November. This has led netizens to speculate that the two spent quality time together overseas before V’s enlistment this December.
Yet, not everyone is convinced by this evidence. Some fans argue that Jennie’s photo was taken at a restaurant in London.
Additionally, there are discrepancies in the timelines, as the Blackpink star returned to Korea on November 23, 2023, after a state banquet at Buckingham Palace, while V took a flight to London on November 27, 2023.
Despite the conflicting reports regarding Jennie and V’s relationship, there is still no official confirmation of their separation. Neither Big Hit Music nor YG Entertainment has acknowledged the breakup of these two idol stars.
Jennie and V’s relationship rumors started nearly a year ago
The dating rumors surrounding V and Jennie emerged when BTS members launched personal Instagram accounts in December 2022. Notably, BTS only followed members and official accounts, but V was seen following Jennie.
The speculations gained momentum on May 22, 2023, when a picture of Blackpink’s star and BTS’s star traveling to Jeju Island surfaced.
In the photo, they were seen seated next to each other in a car, both sporting sunglasses. The alignment of their side profiles and hairstyles strongly indicated that the individuals in the picture were none other than Jennie and V.
Subsequently, fans raised suspicions of a Lovestagram when they noticed overlapping Instagram posts between the two idols. V changed his Instagram profile name to ‘V,’ while Jennie changed hers to ‘J.’
Later on, Jennie and V were once again captured together, holding hands in Paris, as documented by French photographer Amar Taoualit.
Notably, both idols were individually scheduled to be in France around that time, with V serving as a brand ambassador for Céline and Jennie actively promoting The Idol at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
Furthermore, additional images of the two idols continued to surface, triggering a debate regarding their authenticity and potential manipulation through Photoshop.
While some fans expressed concerns about Jennie’s privacy, YG Entertainment took a proactive stance, suspecting unauthorized access to the Blackpink star’s iCloud.
In response, the entertainment company officially announced, “We have requested the police to investigate the origin of the circulated personal photos of Blackpink’s Jennie. YG has been actively monitoring the situation and filed a lawsuit in September after gathering relevant information.”
Despite numerous rumors surrounding Jennie and V’s relationship, both idols have chosen to remain silent on the matter. Neither of their respective companies has issued any statements addressing the speculation.

Following Gellar’s Instagram story, a social media user initiated a thread on Reddit by sharing a screenshot of the post, titling it “Sarah Michelle Gellar slams Roblox after her son’s account was hacked.”
As the thread gained momentum, numerous individuals shared their perspectives on the matter. One person humorously remarked, “I hate how funny I find this. Like, she is so rich, and I love her, but the idea of her having to cancel her accounts because of her son’s Roblox is so funny.”
Similarly, another person jokingly suggested, “I need Sarah to go to Roblox headquarters in her black crop top and red leather pants and threaten the CEO with a wooden stake.”
Responding to the humorous comments, another individual expressed a serious perspective, explaining, “As someone who has hacked Roblox accounts (don’t ask), they do not come with card info.”
He added, “If you have a hacked account, you cannot buy anything with the cards they’ve previously used; it doesn’t save on the account, only on the device. So unless I’m missing something, I’m like 99% sure her son just took her credit card and spent thousands on Robux and then lied about it.”

The couple also openly acknowledges that they maintain a level of strictness with their kids, emphasizing the importance of responsibilities such as washing their dishes, making beds, and cleaning rooms.
Gellar provided additional details in an interview with People, explaining, “They have to understand the value of working for things. So, I don’t believe in paying kids for chores; I feel like that’s part of living in a house, and you’re responsible for keeping the house.”
Beyond discussing their parenting journey, the actress and her husband frequently share pictures of their children on social media. For instance, on September 20, 2017, she posted a picture of her daughter from behind.
Alongside the post, she expressed her emotion, saying that eight years ago, her daughter came into her life and brought happiness. Reflecting on the incredible eight years that followed, she described her daughter as the most kind, poised, empathetic, and incredible human she knows.
